      I was one of those total weebs who watched initial D and was like "I want an AE-86 so bad" but the more and more I learn about cars, the more the FD is becoming my genuine dream car. The rotary is such a cool engine, despite its flaws. The car looks incredible, and with a whole rotary community out there still loving on and running the engine, you can easily learn enough to make it reliable as long as you take good care of it. I would love to own one some day.

    Edit: Compared to the big turbo, supercharged builds of a k24 civic. Thorns might seem "shit" but reviews like hoonigan autofocus do it justice. You don't need high horsepower to have a nice build or a fast build. Most people that go in a 400hp car will be scared shitless yet you have people making 750+ hp builds look normal and the new standard, which is completely unrealistic and needed in the world outside of RUclips
